I couldn't tell you exactly what needs to be done loom wise with the HGT though as I'm more of a Mk1 guy and the HGT is pretty different compared to all the other Mk1 and Mk2 Puntos.

Hassle tbh. If it were me I'd supercharge it and settle for 160-170bhp on low boost. Or buy a Mk1 GT

this sounds like a awfull lot of work for a engine swap....if u dont have anyone with exp than supercharging will be a problem aswell...
i recomend u find other engine that will easily fit in your car without customiseing,but stil is powerfull and have potencial for tuning...engine swap is not dificult when there is no customiseing...
but u got to know that if u supercharge your stock engine u need to do other mods if u want your car to be relayable.u need to lower the compression of your engine becouse of prematuraly igniteing the fuel,and this will destroy your engine.u will also need to uprate your fuleing.If u go for supercharger go for intercooler aswell couse supercharger will aditionaly heat your air,and u want your air to as coold as it can,couse cold air caries more oxigen,and more oxigen means more power...anyway here a article about supercharging engine here on Torquecars...
